Short summary
We investigated the specific plant species that act as a source of secondary fatty alcohols (SFAs) in atmospheric aerosols and their emission processes. Our study at a cool-temperate forest site suggested that SFAs in aerosols originated from conifer leaf wax and their atmospheric emission amount is primarily controlled by conifer abundance and the phenology of leaves. Our findings provide insight into estimating the global atmospheric emission flux of primary biological aerosol particles.
